How to Restore Old Stools, Shorten Them, and Remove Paint Drips - a Fixing Furniture Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- These stools needed a lot of work to restore them. With paint drips and splatters, loose joints, some bad replacement parts, mismatched finish, and two different heights, it took finishing, woodworking, and furniture restoration skills to get these looking similar.
In a previous repair, the taller stool had two stretchers replaced with dowels that didn't match the design of the stool. I took the stool apart to replace the stretchers but someone added nails to hold the stretchers in place. Finishing nails are hard to remove and I find a mini cats paw (see link below) is the most effective way to pull out finishing nails. I've tried many methods over the years and there's no way to remove a finishing nail without damaging the wood. Fortunately, these nails were on the inside of the stool so the damage was easy to patch and hide.
Making the new replacement stretchers was more difficult than I anticipated. The tenons were round and on an angle from the stretcher... a woodworking challenge to reproduce. The key was accurate joinery layout and the use of a plug/tenon cutter.
Once the stool was glued back together again, it was time to shorten it to match the other stool. I used a compound miter saw and a stop block to make quick work of it.
Matching wood stain can be challenging and this project showed that. While matching the stain for the stretchers was easy, the set of the tall stool was difficult, requiring three applications of stain to get the colour right.

One of your best videos, IMHO anyway. The way you managed the dowel and angles on the stretcher and the use of the tenon cutter - excellent. I was surprised the stretcher location was the same after trimming the legs on the one stool, lucky? Or were they made in the same factory. Very nice job.
I'm guessing those were made in the same factory as the dimensions were similar and chamfers were identical.
I really like seeing how you made two similar stools into a matching pair by replacing stretchers and distressing them and staIning and refinishing them. Great patient work.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Scott
It just looks magnificent Scott! 😊
Thank you Jim!
Great Result. Love the step by step explanation on remaking the stretches and the dowel tenons.
Thanks. Glad you liked it! Scott
I love this channel. Fixing furniture is a great trade or hobby. And I plan on doing more of this to make a few bucks in retirement.
It's a valuable skill and the variety of repairs keeps it from getting boring. Nice to see the end result. Very satisfying and keeps good furniture out of the landfill or the woodpile.
And I like to see the proper way to repair as compared to the hack master jobs lots of people do.
You have a "deft hand", sir.👍😁
Thank you very much. I appreciate that! Scott
Back in the day, industrial arts was a required, in the states. You remind me of my instructor then. Now you instruct much larger classes! Great job sir! Keep up the good work, please!!!
Lol, well thank you! I appreciate that! Scott
Another great video packed with useful, clearly explained info! You never disappoint!
End result is truly magnificent! You did an amazing job of matching the worn look of the other stool. Honestly one of your top projects!
Oh, thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video! Scott
Bloody god job!! That tenon cutter worked great and your patience with the paint removal and finishing is impressive!
Thank you very much! Cheers! Scott
You do such beautiful work! I love that you explain everything!
They look really good, Scott.
Thank you so much!
Your insight is so very helpful. And the intricacy and general weirdness of late 19th and early 20th century wood working is fascinating. Thanks for your information.
You're welcome. Glad you like it! Scott
Excellent result Scotty and no doubt your client was thrilled with it. I love what you do and your obvious craftsmanship but you either work for next to nothing or your clients are going to have some very expensive furniture pieces. Presumably it's the latter. Whenever I look at your videos I get a little envious of your magnificent collection of tools and equipment.
Thank you very much! Those tools are a result of years of work - they don't come quickly. If you're interested in the business side of furniture restoration, we're building resources on our Fixing Furniture website to support that. Cheers.
Great job as always, Scotty!
I appreciate that
Fantastic looking stools!
Glad you like them! Scott
👍👍👍 Impressive workmanship. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Nice work
what a pro!
It is amazing the damage that finishing nails can do...
Yes, it's a shame people unknowingly cause damage to their furniture.
My brother would just die to have a jack Daniels bar like that. The stools are very nice too. 😊
Glad you like the bar! I'm proud of it and it's a fun spot to have friends over. Lots of good times!
Really enjoy your videos - thank you. When starting a cut with a Japanese saw, the ‘back’ part of the saw has a set of finer more closely spaced teeth to help make an easier start than with the front teeth of the saw.
Thanks for sharing that. I will take a closer look at my saw blades! Scott #tip
Good job! Congratulations. In my professional career as a custom furniture maker and repairer giving the client exactly what they want was of paramount importance.
Thanks. Yes, it's not about what you want, it's the customer who determines what success looks like.
travail d'artiste mené par une excellente pédagogie ¡ du grand art : médaille d'or ¡
Thank you!
Round tenons at an angle is something very common with wheelwrights (? the guys building wooden wheels) as the hub and the rim of the wheels are not in the same plan, so there is an angle at the end of the stokes where they join the rim. I have watched Dave demonstrate it countless times on his channel Engles Coach Shop.
Oh, cool. Thanks for sharing that! Scott
outstanding job! can't tell which one you changed!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job!
Thank you!
Nice work as always 👍👍
Thank you very much! Scott
Great job. Cheers!
Thanks! Scott
Great tip with the plug maker. Thanks.
You’re welcome
Great video very interesting scott
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing job.

Brilliant job as usual. Compliments from the UK.
Thank you very much! Cheers
Great video Scott. Lots of interesting content and useful information. I was especially interested in how you were going to remove that paint. Great job 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing work and lots of it.
Many thanks!
Nice work, those angled tenons are a pain, but when done right they hold the stool legs when put under load!
Now that you mention that, it does seem to be a good solution to withstand the pressures put against them
A simpler way of adding the texture after you had sanded the stretcher to shape would be to wrap 50-grit sandpaper over the top edge,, and tap it in with a soft-face mallet.
No visible repeating pattern, and a LOT less time.
Thank you for sharing that tip for distressing wood! I will have to try that next time. Scott #tip
Cool opening shot.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. I tried something new. Scott
Thanks, great video. I am glad that you went through making an angled tenon in a leg - very similar to what I am doing now. Where did you order your plug cutter from? Thanks again.
That angled tenon is easy to cut with a Shaper Origin and the work station
Thanks for sharing that! Scott
Have you thought about using a magnet to detect those random finishing nails?
Not magnets as it would be hard to detect, but someone suggested buying a metal detector. I haven't looked into that yet but the more I see it, the more potential it has to pay off.
Oh I can fix that, hold my Mtn Dew and give me a saw...lol... Very nice work as always...
Lol - thanks for the chuckle!
Modern finishing nails have glue on them - I found I can pull them much easier if I preheat them with a soldering iron - probably the glue liquifies then?
I haven't encountered that in furniture yet. I've seen it in framing nails though.
"Make these Civic and Corolla look like a set" :-)
Lol, yeah
I wonder how the original furniture maker created the angled round tenants. A plug cutter seems to be a modern tool. Any thoughts?
I would guess it was either a machine tenon cutter or a hand tenon cutter. If you search for a hand tenon cutter, you'll see these are fairly simple tools.
❤
Thank you!
3:40 I won't bet my whole salary but i'm pretty sure wrong size head would strip any bolt, especially one that fits most of my flat screwdrivers 🙂
Thy Scott
You're welcome
Great craftmanship! Restored and repaired with perfection, care and at a nice calm soothing pace.
I've never seen a plastic razor blade. Where can i get one?
They're great, I learned about them from here too heh. Ordered a 200 pack on Amazon
You can buy them in packs of 100-200. If you'd like to try just one, mail me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'd be happy to send one to you. Our address is on our Fixing Furniture website www.fixingfurniture.com/contact
What's the difference between paint, stain and finish?
Paint is not transparent and provides protection to the wood. A finish is usually transparent and helps protect the wood. Stain is used to add colour to the wood. Does that help? Scott
It looks like you are carefully preserving the circular water stain left by a clay pot.
Yes, this was about keeping the aged look, not making the stools look perfect
no bueno
Not good? What didn't you like about it? Scott
